I hate to say it but this is the same kind of stereotyping Romney promotes making you no better than he is. This chart of yours doesn’t prove anything and it certainly doesn’t mean its true given what the information Super Highway has been turned into. I might not like Romney but I wouldn’t say the states who voted for him are uneducated and don’t have a college Degree. Further you don’t need a college Degree to be educated. Lincoln educated himself. So please before you say things like that at least make a grown up arguement with real proof and not statistics or fake statistics whichever or stereotyping people. I’ve seen brilliant people come out of most of those states and they went to college in New York with me so that doesn’t say much. People will buy into things with Romney whether they are educated or not. It all depends on our own belief system. NOT what some screen capture from the internet says. Love the candidates or not that’s pure logic.

This is silly. Please take an elementary course on statistics and understand how people can use ecological correlations to overstate correlation strengths.

@170 Gdud why don’t you find a list of companies and businesses that are hiring and post it? From a news source not your imagination.

@171. Mr.casey repeating yourself is a sign of Alzheimer’s disease and Dementia.

“Suzie says:

880 to 13. I’m going to make you clowns WEAR those numbers.

I’ll proudly wear those numbers. Where would you like to meet so you can pin them on me?

I’m still waiting for Maloof to tell us:

1) How many employees there are at the company he works for;
2) Whether or not that company offers its employees health insurance.

If the number of workers is under 50, the ACA requirements don’t apply to his company. And if the company already offers healthcare, then there will be no great expense it will incur because of ACA, such as would merit a 25-percent workforce reduction.

And, if the company has more that 50 employees and it does not offer them healthcare, then that means its profits have been indirectly subsidized by all the companies out there that DO offer their employees healthcare. If that is the case then it’s time for the rest of us to stop subsidizing Maloof’s company.

Maloof could answer these questions without disclosing the name of his company, of course. So that would not “expose” jack.

The fact that he’s chosen NOT to answer them leaves me wondering if he’s blowing smoke about that workforce reduction necessitated by ACA.

#169 Why doesn’t the Blaze also list businesses that have announced openings or hirings since the election?

Oh, right, there’s that agenda thing. Same with you, Maloof.

Not silent just working. Your puny blog… Longer list of layoffs and closings. Is the the hope and change you you were hoping for?

Employers are transparently using ACA to do all sorts of stuff they want to do anyway but want to offload the responsiblity and perception of being cheap uncaring profit-hogs.

And no, education and common sense don’t necessarily go hand in hand, but the GOP doesn’t have a lock on either.

Sandi, I sincerely ask: What is it about socialism that you object to, if anything?

I am with you Debbie. They are all to happy to count their money and let us pick up the tab for their needed but underpaid employees health care, food and housing. Cell phone users pay for their cell phones. As Chris Rock says, when an employer pays you minimum wage, what he is really saying is that he would pay you less if the law allowed him to. He says it much funnier than I can obviously.
